THE OUTLOOK PROMISING.
Review of the Condition of Farming
About Xankton.

Special TO the Globe.
YANKToN, Oak, April s.-The condi-
ton of farms and crops in the counties of
Yankton. Union. Clay, Bon Homme and
Hutchinson is very satisfactory. The acre
age under cultivation this year will be
much larger than that of last season. About
one-third of the entire crop will be of corn,
while the remaining two thirds will be
divided between fax, wheat and oats. 1t
is estimated that two-thirds of the corn
crop will be used for home consumption, as
the farmers ale nearly ali engaged in stock
raising. The soil is in excellent condition
at present, although fears are entertained
that this will be a dry season in South
Dakota. However, the working stock is in
good condition, the seed is good, the weather
during the past month has been favorable
to seeding, and on the whole. the outlook
is very promising for the farmers.

Probably Not a Mistake.
Dakota Settler.


Nevada is held up to Dakot6ns as sample
of a mistake in administration, about as grace
fully as the failures of some men are cast in
the way of others. But we are not so sure
that there was "a mistake concerning Nevada.
She had probably attained her majority at
the time, and because she is not adapted to
the agricultural pursuits that bring dense
settlement is no reason that her citizens
should be deprived of state government
certainly no reason that she should be quoted
to Dakota.

Since the legislature has adjourned it has

often only the plainest duty. Seriously, the

Aberdeen. Pioneer.
An attempt was recently made in Sioux

would be of interest to the public, as nearly
every intelligent man likes to read both sides
of the many political questions that agitate
the country, but the Democratic party does
not seem to cherish any particular desire to
encourage the popular educators. In fact, it
seems afraid of appealing to the intelligence
of the country.

Urd1u FUTkS I1VFUIu.
The position taken by the Moorhead News
relative to railroad mileage IN consideration
of advertising is emincntly sound. The mile
age should be transferable if the publisher is
to be fairly compensated for his advertising
space. There is no justice in combining the
mileage that is honestly earned to publishers,
their families or employees. In most cases
but little of the mileage will be used, unless
it is made transferable, in which event pub
